1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Metastatic renal masses present an uncommon diagnostic dilemma. Differentiating malignant metastatic renal lesions from primary renal malignancy relies on a high index of suspicion, multidisciplinary discussion, comprehensive radiological work up and finally, accurate immunohistochemical pathology findings. Here we present a rare case of solitary non-small cell lung cancer metastases to the kidney definitively diagnosed with image guided renal biopsy. We emphasize both the salient radiological features of such masses, as well as the vital role of image guided renal biopsies in such settings. The pivotal role of the radiologist within the oncological multidisciplinary team meeting is also illustrated.
